Ifrc.Org And 9 JULY 1999 RED CROSS & RED CRESCENT INFORMATION Report No. 50 This report is published twice weekly as a general update on Red Cross Red Crescent activities during the Balkans crisis, primarily for the Movement's components and supporters. Today's text can also be found on the Internet at www.ifrc.org and www.icrc.org LATEST EVENTS Nearly 620,000 refugees and displaced people have now returned to Kosovo, leaving nearly 140,000 still in the Federal Yugoslav Republic of Montenegro, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania and Bosnia, as well as some 90,000 in third countries, according to the latest figures from UNHCR. The general transfer of humanitarian personnel and resources into Kosovo from neighbouring states/republics continues. In Albania, plans are being made to consolidate the remaining refugees in a few camps and collective centres. The president of the International Federation, Dr. Astrid Heiberg, who has been visiting the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), warned the world not to lose sight of the enormous humanitarian needs there. "I appreciate the clear commitment of the international community to help refugees and displaced people now returning to Kosovo. Yet, I am gravely concerned that assistance will not be as generous to the humanitarian operations in Serbia and Montene- gro," she said. In Kosovo itself, the Federation is addressing the difficult task of rebuilding the local Red Cross. Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia) Overview: International Federation President, Dr Astrid Heiberg, finished a four-day visit to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). During her stay, she met with the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Federal Minister for Refugees, IDPs and Humanitarian Affairs, as well as the President of Montenegro. Dr Heiberg's visit was hosted by the International Federa- tion Delegation in FRY and the Yugoslav Red Cross. At her press conference Dr Heiberg stressed the enormous humanitarian needs she observed during her visit to FRY. The situation of more than 500,000 refugees from the previous wars in the former Yugoslavia is particularly difficult. The Federation President emphasized that huge humanitarian needs in all parts of Yugoslavia should be covered in a balanced way, as there is already clear commitment of the international community to assist vulnerable people in Kosovo. New IDP arrivals from Kosovo have been registered in the southern municipalities of Serbia proper, notably Kursumlija, Prokuplje and Bujanovac. The same trend has been observed in Kolasin, Montenegro. In Montenegro, out of over 11,000 people recently arrived from Kosovo 2 -- mostly Serbs and Montenegrins -- some 650 are living in four collective centres in Berane and one Andrijevica, with the number expected to increase to approximately 1000. In Serbia, the Red Cross is in the final stages of preparations for the soup kitchen programme, while in Montenegro it will supply supplementary food parcels (WFP, CRS and MCI having taken up covering staple food) and food for kitchens in the collective centres. Once the soup kitchens are running, an assessment of winter needs will be made. It is envisaged that some 50,000 families will be provided with winter clothes. The project for providing glass for institutions damaged in the bombing is about to start with a school and hospital in Belgrade and will be expanded through the Joint Field Offices. In the health domain, a round of meetings with local Public Health Institutes and water boards has been completed and a study has been prepared on integrated assistance to laboratories which carry out water/environmental pollution control. Relief: Since it was set up, the Nis Field Office, covering 36 local Red Cross branches in the Zajecar, Nis and Vranje areas, has distributed some 15,000 hygiene parcels, 2000 mattresses, 11,000 blankets and over 13,000 square metres of plastic sheeting. In addition, emergency food supplies have been provided to IDPs arriving from Kosovo. The region is presently accommodating some 13,000 of them, with about 1000 new arrivals in Bujanovac adding to the previous caseload of 12,000. On 8 July, three trucks brought over 21 MT of bulk food (wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil, pasta and yeast), as well as 1000 hygiene parcels, 128 baby kits and a number of stoves, to Bujanovac, which now has about 4000 IDPs from Kosovo. There are six reception centres in the town. The Belgrade Joint Field Office, in charge of 54 local Red Cross branches and three regional warehouses, has been assisting 38,130 IDPs from Kosovo. The largest concentration is in the central Serbian town of Kragujevac, with 10,500 IDPs, which has been supplied with close to 60 MT of bulk food which was originally intended for soup kitchens but had to be redirected to the arriving IDPs. All the Joint Field Offices have been actively preparing the launching of the soup kitchen programme, and in some areas a school kitchen programme. Health: On 6 July, the Red Cross medical team delivered a surgical unit to Novi Pazar hospital and drugs to the humanitarian pharmacy and muscular dystrophy special hospital in the town. The latter had not received any drugs in the previous six months. An assessment of the water situation in a reception centre in Bujanovac has been carried out, with the first delivery of disinfectant. A financial allocation has been given to the Kragujevac Red Cross branch for the rehabilitation of five collective centres in the town. Protection: The Nis Field Office is in the process of setting up a tracing mobile unit, which will enable IDPs to make direct contact with their relatives. In each of the last 3 weeks, the ICRC 3 Belgrade tracing agency has been receiving an average of 60 people coming to inquire about relatives. PNS: The Japanese Red Cross has completed its assessment mission in Serbia, showing particular interest in getting involved in the humanitarian pharmacy programme and/or a regional soup kitchen. Kosovo Overview: International Federation efforts are focusing on reconstruction of the local Red Cross structure in order to re-establish its operational capacity. A senior Federation representative dedicated to this issue is now based in Pristina and working in close coordination with the ICRC and the PNS. This means rehabilitation of the Kosovo Red Cross branches damaged during the conflict through reconstruction, rebuilding, provision of office equipment and direct support to the Red Cross branches’ structures and staff. A first assessment of the Red Cross structures in Kosovo, after the three-month conflict, indicates considerable destruction. A large number of municipal and local branches have no infrastructure after the premises were looted and burned down. At the same time, efforts have to be made to reach a provisional solution regarding the status of the Red Cross authorities in the province as well as the working relations of the Red Cross with other organisations. Relief: As well as continuing to respond to ad hoc requests, the ICRC has also commenced regular deliveries to the towns of Suva Reka and Vucitrn, where other agencies have had diffi- culties reaching full capacity. Distributions of food were carried out at the following locations: Suva Reka: 36 MT for 13,000 people Novi Badovc: 5 MT for 500 people Saskovac: 15 MT for 500 people Lipljan: 10 MT for 8000 people Junik: 10 MT for 2800 people Vucitrn: 32 MT for 28,000 people Decane: 34 MT for 25,000 people Health: Close cooperation with PNS is continuing for finalising proposals for the second phase of the implementation of health projects. Thirty water wells were cleaned and disinfected in Glogovac municipality. In addition, an initial assessment of the Pristina water supply was undertaken. Protection: With three Mobile Tracing Units now active in Kosovo, over 1700 telephone calls have made in the past week, with approximately 80% of people successful in contacting their families. ICRC visits to people detained by KFOR in Kosovo have commenced with visits carried out this week in Pristina and Prizren to 65 people. PNS: The French Red Cross carried out a first distribution in the municipalities of Klina and Cubrelj in central Kosovo. A total of 6000 received a parcel put together by the French 4 population as well as a radio and three batteries. They also received wheat flour and oil provided by the World Food Programme. The American Red Cross is supporting ICRC tracing operations with funding for five mobile communication modules. Each module contains two vehicles with radios and satellite telephones. The German Red Cross Kosovo programmes include four soup kitchens in Pec, food relief in Strpce, water engineering assessment and also funding for ICRC mobile tracing units. Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Overview: Under 15,000 refugees are now left behind in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, according to the latest figures from the UNHCR, and the movement of people at the main border crossings is gradually returning to normal levels, with travellers and business people coming and going every day. The Macedonian Red Cross has provided assistance to about 300 Serb refugees from Kosovo in the past few weeks. Arrangements are being made to ensure orderly repatriation from third countries to which Kosovo Albanians were evacuated during the crisis. Relief: The expanded programme of relief distribution to social cases is underway, with the goal of assisting 250,000 persons living in 71,500 families throughout the country. The Macedonian Red Cross is distributing the ICRC's emergency stock of 1.5-litre water bottles and high protein biscuits to refugees as they pass border points, and 12,162 bottles of water were dispatched to Blace and Jazince. Logistics/Relief Distribution 5-7 July SUPPLIES Received Distributed to social cases Mattresses (Swedish RC) 3,648 - Hygiene parcels (Netherlands) - 3,747 Hygiene parcels (American RC) - 316 Hygiene parcels (French RC) 3,834 608 Sugar (1 kg packs) - 2,021 Flour (Bulgarian RC) (1 kg packs) 789 - Protection: For the week ending 8 July, the ICRC tracing offices (Skopje, Tetevo and four camps) have received 1677 visitors and 505 phone calls.

Most of them have been discovered and exploited from ancient times up to date. There are also other deposits for which a careful study and evaluation of geological reserves should be conducted. II.1. A General Overview in Mining Industry Albania is a country rich in mineral resources. Mineral exploration, exploitation and processing constitute a key component of the Albanian economy, due to a traditional mining industry, that has been a solid foundation to the country economic sector, generating substantial revenues. Chrome, copper, iron-nickel and coal, are some of the minerals mined and treated in Albania. Mining industry development in Albania has passed through three main stages: The first stage includes the period up to the end of World War II, marked by two important events. In 1922, has been compiled the first Geological Map of Albania, which was even the first of its kind in the Balkans. In 1929 has been approved the first Mining Law of the Albanian Kingdom, which paved the way to the exploration and/or exploitation of mineral resources in Albania; The second stage (1944-1994), marks the period when the mining activity has been organized in state-owned enterprises and the concept of mining privatization did not exist.
